Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

If possible, I really want to ask the driver to send everyone there myself.

However, if the agent is not here, it will be of no use even if they go there. It is the agent's job to communicate with the person in charge of the animation company.

buzzing...

Tear--!

The sound of an engine getting closer and closer gradually came from the distance. A black business car suddenly braked suddenly, and a mark left by friction on the ground suddenly appeared.

"Sorry, I'm late."

The familiar agent got out of the cab, went to the back of the car and opened the trunk.

"Eh... Mr. Maezawa is obviously late but he still smiles playfully?" Kotobuki Mitsuru said angrily.

"Haha...Thanks to you, this phone call has helped me a lot."

"What are you busy with?"

"Help me forcefully pull it out from the devil's grasp."

"What?"

What on earth is this middle-level line of unknown meaning? Why did it come from this uncle’s mouth?

Maezawa was extremely attentive and neatly placed the instruments of several members of the band in the trunk.

"Mr. Maezawa, thank you very much."

Seeing Maezawa diligently moving things for everyone, the girls politely thanked him.

"This is my job as an agent." Maezawa said helplessly. "A competent agent is on call 24 hours a day. Even if you are just hungry in the middle of the night, when I get the call, I have to go and bring you a midnight snack."

Maezawa heard this from a friend who is an agent.

Some agents of big-name celebrities even treat their agents as errand boys, but those are only a minority.

The relationship between most artists and their managers is quite good, especially newcomers to the industry like Ending Band.

However, Maezawa doubted that if he said this, Kotobuki Mitsuru would actually call him in the middle of the night to deliver supper.

"And mine!"

After putting all the instruments in the trunk, Ichichi Hongxia took out two drum sticks from his pocket and threw them in.

"Hongxia...what's the point of just holding two drum sticks?"

"Ahhh... So don't persecute drummers anymore! If everyone is just carrying guitars and basses on their backs, I can only be empty-handed. It would be too sad!"

The triangular hair on Ichichi's head kept spinning and jumping, as if venting the girl's dissatisfaction.

"But it seems more miserable if you only bring two drum sticks..." Yamada Ryo complained mercilessly.

"Hmm... Ichichi-senpai looks so pitiful like this." Kita also nodded in agreement.

"No...that's right..." Even Goto Ichiri looked over with sympathetic eyes.

"If that doesn't work, you can lend me my synthesizer to Hongxia. It will make you feel less lonely if you carry it on your back." Kotobuki suggested.

"Eh, eh, eh? Kotobuki-kun's synthesizer is too heavy...it would be a burden to walk with it on your back! Why don't you lend me your guitar to show off?" Itachi Hikaru clapped her hands expectantly.

"Dah!" Qinbukiguang immediately refused without hesitation.

"Eh—why?!"

"This guitar was a gift from Yili."

"Um... Sudden dog food?!"

The girls showed horrified expressions, and these words were so disgusting that they made people's skin crawl.

Goto Kazuri blushed, lowered his head, and kept shaking his body, with a shy look on his face.

"Okay, I'm going to be late soon. I don't have time to explain. Get in the car."

Snapped--!

Maezawa slammed the trunk of the commercial vehicle shut.

"After all, isn't it because of Mr. Maezawa that we are almost late?"

Maezawa was immediately speechless by Qinbuki's words.

Chapter 264 Become a social animal today

IG is also a very famous animation company in the industry.

Although Kotobuki Mitsuru didn't know much about the animation company, after checking some relevant information, he still saw many familiar works in the company's resume.

For example...

This company even produced Ghost in the Shell, which is very famous. It has produced many animations and even adapted it into a big IP for movies.

Even people who are not nerds will definitely feel familiar when they hear this name.

The main business of most animation companies is simply to produce animations. For example, most of the teams responsible for music production also ask for external assistance - to put it bluntly, they are looking for outsourcing.

After all, animation companies produce many animation works every year. If only the painting style is unified, it may be an advantage and make the company more recognizable.

But not to mention that music production is not like animation production. From storyboards to line drafts to coloring and final post-production synthesis, there are people in specialized departments who are responsible for it. More importantly, it is difficult for a musician to have a musical style. changed,

After all, I have never heard of multiple people composing music together. The production of a song can be completed by just a few people, so there is no need to increase the cost and set up a special soundtrack department.

There is a music company that specially appoints composers to provide soundtracks for various animation companies. Sawano was also appointed to join this project team.

IG's headquarters is in Tokyo. Fortunately, Maezawa's driving skills are good. After taking various shortcuts and exploiting gaps, he finally arrived at the other company's headquarters before the agreed time.

"Wow...there are some magnificent office buildings here."

The girls took out their food from the trunk and carried it on their backs. Itachi Hongxia looked at the tall buildings around her in wonder as she held a fairy wand.

"No matter how grand the office building is, it is still a place to work. It just looks glamorous, but in fact it is just a cage where social animals are imprisoned."

Manager Maezawa seemed to have seen through the world of mortals, and said words with a flat face that shattered the high school students' expectations for the future.

"It feels like Mr. Maezawa has begun to exude an aura of resentment..."

It's just like the smell on the faces of those office workers who are in pain when they go to the train after get off work.

"Isn't it a joy to be able to turn something you like into a job? Mr. Maezawa will be happier too!"

Itichi Hongka's body exudes the unique aura of a young female high school student. She is so optimistic that her body seems to be surrounded by golden holy light. Just by being shined on her body, Maezawa suddenly feels the pain of a vampire entering the sun. .

Then, the man sighed slightly, with a wry smile on his face, as if he had an expression like 'ah, I'm still too young after all'.

"Most people have such expectations if they can turn their favorite things into work, but the reality is not a fairy tale. Work is work, and it will not make people happy just because the content of the work is something they like."

"Eh..."

A few of the guys closing the band just looked puzzled.

“In the final analysis, most of what makes people miserable while working is not the work content itself, but things other than work.”

"Something other than work?"

"Ah...for example, the president who only makes things difficult for others but has no understanding of his subordinates, the team leader who uses chicken feathers as arrows, and the young leader who relies on blood ties to rise to the top and makes others arrogant in front of you... Party A’s unreasonable demands at work, colleagues who only talk about people behind their backs, and colleagues who are in front of others and behind their backs, these things that have nothing to do with the work itself are the source of pain.”

As if venting his dissatisfaction, Maezawa spoke out a long list of negative energy.

"I feel like what Mr. Maezawa said is just complaining about the sophistication of people in the workplace..."

"Ha... Anyway, you won't understand these things after I talk about them. I hope you won't understand them in the future either. It's really great for people like you to only do what you like and ignore other troublesome things." Happy."

The troublesome things, those disgusting things like communicating and socializing with Party A, should also be what I, as an agent, should do.

"However, although it is only temporary, you will come to the animation company frequently during this period. Maybe you can experience a little of the pain of social animals here."

Maezawa crossed his arms, imagining how they would suffer because they could not handle the interpersonal relationships within the company.

"If I work, I will become a miserable adult like Mr. Maezawa. I really would rather not accept this job." Kotobuki joked mockingly.

"Work is terrible...work is terrible...work is terrible...work is terrible..."

"Eh——?! Xiao Yili is going to turn into gray again?!"

Just after listening to Maezawa's complaints, Goto imagined a lot of strange plots in his mind, and even fear gradually emerged in his heart.

"There's still a little time...I'm going to buy a few cups of coffee and then go in later."

Maezawa supported him and patted his head, forcing his somewhat groggy consciousness to revive.

"Why is Mr. Maezawa so lethargic?"

"There are too many things at work lately...I feel a little sleep-deprived."

"It was really hard work."

what......

Maezawa hadn't heard such a heartfelt greeting for who knows how long.

In the company, even if you work all night to complete the work, in the eyes of the leader, it is normal. Even if you say you have worked hard, it is just to make you work harder.

The lobby of the office building is also crowded during working hours, and the queue taken from the elevator has even reached the gate.

Among the crowd of social beasts wearing suits, the high school-aged boys and girls like the Ending Band seemed a bit out of place.

While waiting for Maezawa to go to the nearby coffee shop to buy spiritual food, several people slowly followed the team forward.

Finally, it was almost their turn to get on the elevator, and Maezawa rushed over with a few drinks.

"It's been a long time, everyone."

"Eh...Mr. Maezawa also bought our share?"

“The company’s funds will not be wasted until they are wasted.”

After thanking him and dividing the drinks, Maezawa jumped in line and got to the front of the group.

The behavior of jumping in line seemed to arouse dissatisfaction among some people behind, but no one dared to quarrel in such a public place.

"Wow...it's too crowded...it feels even more crowded than the tram during school hours..."

In the narrow and confined space, the girls were squeezed into the innermost corner of the elevator.

There are two men, Kotobuki Hikari and Maezawa, isolated from other passers-by in the outside position, trying to leave as much space as possible for them.

The atmosphere among office workers is too dull.

Obviously there are so many people, and most of them work in the same company, but from the beginning of the queue, I barely heard a few people talking.

Even the girls who had never stopped talking along the way not only fell into silence following the depressive atmosphere around them.

Work... is a really scary thing.

Such thoughts arise spontaneously in the minds of girls.

......

...

The location of IG company is located in the upper middle floor of the office building.

According to Neon, the taller the office buildings, apartments, etc., the better, and the higher they are, the more expensive they are. If you think about it this way, the strength of this animation company will definitely not be too bad.

However, the boys and girls do not understand why there is such a tradition.

Apart from making it inconvenient to go downstairs, making it cold in winter and hot in summer, and prone to water leakage, are there any good points about high-rise office buildings and apartments?

After getting out of the elevator, walking through a short corridor, I saw a sign with the company's full name and logo.

"Hello, I am Maezawa from JAV Company, whom I have made an appointment with before."

Such chores are naturally the responsibility of the broker.

After Maezawa had a friendly exchange with the very beautiful female receptionist at the front desk, he successfully led a few people in.

"Eh...is this the so-called 'workplace'?"

The girls could not hide their curiosity.

After walking in, I looked around at the surrounding environment.

After passing through the front desk and entering another glass door, you have officially entered the IG company's work area.

The imaginary workplace should be like the one in the movies, where everyone looks very busy and working non-stop.
